Big fan of free speech and academic freedom. Strongly recommend avoiding UNH Franklin Pierce Law until change to less toxic leadership and more positive student treatment. She/her or gender neutral pronouns.

Strange isn't it... the people who actually live in London overwhelmingly think it's safe.... almost like everyone else is falling for a lie
I wonder what Londoners know that the rest of the country don’t?

Lying about the election in order to lie about a murder.
COLLINS: Minnesota officials say the FBI isn't sharing evidence with them. Do you believe the FBI should do that?

TRUMP: Well normally I would, but they're crooked officials. Minneapolis and Minnesota are being destroyed. I feel that I won Minnesota all three times. I won Minnesota three times.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

an american city is fully under siege by an occupying army that is supposedly an arm of its own government

that army has already shot someone dead and is repeatedly threatening to do the same to anyone upset about its actions

intolerable situation
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings
A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
“Racy”
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The whole losing the extra vowel thing is whatever, but where US English really wins is in how it embraces the letter Z. It's so silly how everyone else just pretends we have a 24 letter alphabet and forces the S to put in like 16 extra shifts so other letters can freeload
Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good:

"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."
FFS. ICE is targeting Native Americans!
Great piece by my Cato colleague. “Since July, immigration agents have shot at least six people behind the wheel of a vehicle. The same playbook is used each time: the agent says they “feared for their life” as a vehicle was “weaponized” against them. Juries should decide, but we tie their hands.
Opinion | Renee Good wasn’t the first person shot in her car by ICE. The justification followed a familiar script.
Mike Fox: The officer who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis might never have to defend his actions before a judge or jury.

The federal government Friday agreed to pay $125,000 after a judge found a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent liable for civil assault for pointing a gun at a hotel maintenance man who came to the agent’s room to unclog a toilet.

Hannity has a Fox reporter in Minneapolis talk to a random protester walking through the city who goes on to spit bars for 2 minutes
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Fox News claims to be airing the "entire video" -- but they're cutting off before the officer says, "fucking bitch."
This morning, Ms. Rachel and I visited District 2 Pre-K Center, where we sang and read with the wonderful students and educators. We also discussed universal childcare - and how we're making it happen for NYC!
In case she deletes it — whoah, Katie Miller. Tell us how you really feel
Look at this shit!

Is it just me or does it seem like the Trump administration is looking to provoke violence so that they can create the conditions for a harsh crackdown? Be careful, everyone.

📌 500 ICE agents are being moved to Minneapolis from other cities.
Hand switch at the 29sec mark thus freeing up his right weapon side hand:
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.
i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane
i have watched the shooter's video. it's going to make you way the fuck madder.
I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.
Alpha News claims that it has obtained the cellphone video recorded by the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good.

(Warning: Disturbing.)
🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.
